Time-Warner Cable and Cablevision have joined forces to offer New Yorkers 30 free minutes of wi-fi per month in 32 public parks throughout the city. The companies are investing a cool $10 million in the project. Users will get three 10-minute sessions per month, but can purchase more time at the very reasonable price of 99¢ a day.
Critics question how Cablevision/Time-Warner will track customers and their time (my guess is a cookie you have to allow before access is granted, not by MAC address, as some commenters suggested), and note that libraries, campuses, and many restaurants already offer free wifi.
